Lately I've really been diggin on this Matt Redman tune called "Breathing the Breath" and it made me realize something. I used to almost exclusively write for piano and voice. Yet I have not yet done a praise band song in this setting. I was hoping that God might lay something on my heart and like always He did. It had been one of those days where nothing goes the way you want it to go. I was frustrated to no end and I was sitting alone in my office when the urge to worship God washed over me. I prayed a very simple prayer in that moment, "God help me to praise you now. Help me to lift your name up in glory." Then God slammed me with His love and it was beautiful. This song is a result of that night. I call it "You Move Me" and the lyrics are below. My prayer is that it may speak to your heart like it spoke to mine as a reminder that God is ever present and always moving in our lives.
You Move Me
These eyes have seen
These eyes have known
The dark and fear inside
These eyes have seen
These eyes have known
The chill of wayward days
Your eyes have seen me
Your eyes have found me
Your arms have held me
Your heart has touched me
Lord you move me
Lord you free me
Lord you fill me
Lord you reign in me
These eyes have seen
These eyes have known
Your calming touch inside
These eyes have seen
These eyes have known
Life unchained in your words
Your eyes have seen me
Your eyes have found me
Your arms have held me
Your heart has touched me
Lord you move me
Lord you free me
Lord you fill me
Lord you rage in me
Lord you move me
Lord you free me
Lord you fill me
Lord you reign in me
Beautiful lyrics. They make me yearn for a relationship with Christ that is more meaningful. THanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful song. There's just something about that soulful, mesmerizing sax. It makes my spirit free, like I could just fly through the heavens, praising God. Just awesome. I love this song. Thank you for allowing God's love to flow through you brother.
